Washington Examiner: Joy Reid's 'experts' drop claim that the Internet Archive was hacked to make her look bad

The Joy Reid “hacking” saga has taken another weird turn.

The MSNBC host now says she's not so sure shadowy online criminals hacked the Wayback Machine Internet Archive to make it appear as if she published several anti-gay articles on her now-defunct personal blog, The Reid Report, more than 10 years ago.

“Reid and her team no longer believe the archive was hacked, and the Internet Archive has denied any such manipulation could have occurred,” the Daily Beast reported this week, citing the cable news host’s independently contracted cybersecurity “expert” Jonathan Nichols.
